Hi Julian Anastasov,
>Can you keep the previous line width of the above help
because on standard 80-width window the help now gets truncated in
make menuconfig.

Sorry for the confusion, I was already expecting this comment. The
patch had a few words added, hence it feels like many lines have
changed. However, no line actually exceeds 80 width.
Longest line is still 80-width max. Do you prefer I reduce it to a
lower number like 70?
Thanks,
Abhijeet
